Discussions I've Participated In

Or does Russell Crowe make your skin crawl? The posts on the 'bad films' thread about Nicholas Cage got me thinking. I can't watch anything with Russell Crowe in which is a shame as apparently he's...

H decided that he wanted to have a BBQ tomorrow. I said fine, but only if we sort the garden. There's some garden waste and rubble from when the ceiling fell down and a massive pot that needs moving....

Its just occurred to me, that even with a young baby, I never really have slumming it days..by this i mean days where I don't have a shower first thing, don't do my hair, dont put make up on, mooch...

Now that the in laws have (very very kindly) paid for our pram, we have been told to use the cash for a weekend away before baby gets here. Bit stuck for ideas though. I guess 3 nights max and not too...

So I got in from shopping today and went to the loo only to find I was bleeding again. It's quite heavy and dark coloured so is old blood as I understand. This is my third period in the last month. I...

Weight - I never volunteer the information so it's not lying ? Height - I do lie about this! I always say I'm 5' 7" I don't know why as I'm 5' 8". Shoe size - I say I'm a 7.5 when I'm mostly an 8. Bra...

Just a musing, as weight is discussed a fair bit on here. I was reading a book last week about weight problems, and it suggested that Britain as a nation is desensitised when it comes to obesity. The...

This morning, I walked past two men, to have one of them shout at me "Phwoar, you fit, speccy b*tch". This has to be the best street heckle I've ever had directed at me. Speccy? He didn't appear to be...

Please do say if I'm out of line asking. Does the amount of maintenance I receive affect other benefits? I've had conflicting advice as to what constitutes income from the help line. Thank you x

Just thinking as this subject comes up often on OT some Otters might like to see this. Hope it makes for good discussion tomorrow.

...And I am a major factor in his unhappiness. He talked to me last night and said that sometimes he wonders whether marrying me was the right decision. Broke my heart. He says 2 days of the week I'm...

One of my best friends is having a baby! ? I want to get her something for the baby shower in a few weeks and then something again when the baby is born. I spoke to her sister about if there's...

Or were you friends first which grew into more? Or even dated, and weren't sure for a while? The other thread got me thinking. I definitely fell crazily in love with H and look where that got me. He...

I've dyed my hair darkest brown and its come out virtually black. I look like a vampire. my extensions no longer match. I feel sick with stupidity. I get married on Saturday

Basically I just need to know if I’m being a grumpy fecker (which I suspect I am). Some good friends of ours are getting married in a couple of months, my H is an usher. This friend phoned my H this...

I'll start. Artificial sweetener. And oranges.

How many do you have in the house? Do you have one in your bedroom?

I am in bed with the lurgy ☹️ it started kicking in during work yesterday and this morning I feel like death...tea and sympathy please?

I know it's the Daily Fail and all, but this is really sad:...

See, in life I'm generally a 'if you can't say anything nice don't say it at all' person. But today, I read a thread, write a post, and deleted it. Because it's a awful suggestion. I know I would be...

Post on WP/leaving two small children in a cottage while the mother goes back to an evening party/Madeleine McCann/call social services/etc. Is it ever acceptable to leave young children unattended?...

What do we reckon to the finale? Is Andy a mug? Did Louise cheat on him or was it innocent? In my experienced cabbage, when I was with my ex, I stayed over on a night out with some lads - I was with...

Is this a new thing? When we took out our life policies 6 years ago they didn't ask us but I've just had a phone call about quotes and they want to know how fat I am. Being a bit of a porker...

Yes I spend too much time thinking but this one stumped me when I was thinking during the night the other night. Anyone got any idea? I remember a skit Russell Brand did about using a colour chart and...

Why is it that OH mothers think they can tell you what to do with your kids? and then get arsey when they don't like the answer you give? She helps us out loads with the kids, picking them up from...

What annoying assumptions do people make about your job? The reason why l ask was l read the other day that one of the most stressful occupations is being a librarian, apparently a big part of it is...
